|
|
|
|
Research into omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids tells a dramatic story. Studies suggest that the human race originally evolved on a diet with a 1:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids. Our bodies still strive for that nutritional balance. However, typical lifestyles lack this indispensible balance. Diets tend to contain omega-6 to omega-3 ratios of 15:1, or higher.
